Christmas holidays are here! And fortunatley I managed to
get a large amount of shopping done on Monday, leaving lots
of time for coding. XClient now works pretty well in Linux;
interleaved arrays + glDrawElements is working, and all the
core stuff seems to be behaving. Furthermore I found the
courage to autoconf/make the whole thing, there are several
hacks unitl I understand autoconf properly but it does
build. And most importantly, the X11 native calls have been
replaced with SDL, so Mac or Be ports are now possible.

As regards Constellation, the design and basic framework
coding progresses; I really need a working persistence layer
so I'm going to hack one up over the next few days ...
probably not a perfect solution but a reasonable one. I love
the CORBA Name service; if the Notififcation service works
as well I will be delighted. So I think I'm on target to
have multiple client connecting by January.
